Why can't i change my apple id in the software update drop down menu

The dropdown menu contains a portion of my ID, in grey, and the blank space to enter my password. I can not find a way to complete my ID

Just write your Apple ID into the left hand field. If you are already logged in with another Apple ID, then first logout then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

  • Why can't I change my apple id in the app store

    I have signed into the app store successfully however, when I go to download updates to programs that are on my computer the apple ID that shows up is not mine, and it is unchangable. How do I change this ID?

    That Apple ID is stored inside the applications and can't be changed without deleting them and then downloading them from a different one, which may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

    My apple id is associated with a gmail address.
    I wan't to change it to something else.
    So I went to: appleid.apple.com ---> Change apple id ---> Typed in new email address (everything shows green) ---> Hit Save.-->Edit box disappears as if everything went ok ----> But the box showing my apple id, still shows the gmail address!
    It still shows my gmail address!! Doesn't send any verification email or anything! No matter what I do, it doesn't let me change it from my gmail address!
    It let me change my password though, and also let me change my rescue email address.

    Why can't I see my Apple TVs in the Airport Utility?

    An AirPort Utility is not intended to configure an Apple TV, so there's no reason for it to discover one.
    Use the Apple TV remote to configure it.

    Although I had Indesign CS6 for over a year this is my first time using it . I want to set the default page size to inches, instead of using Indesigns default settings.  Following Terry Whites instruction From the video clip on YouTube I tried finding Preferances in the Edit tabs menu, But when I click on the edit tab I can't find preferances in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing. sombody please help me to change this setting. I know nothing about the measurement type that indesign uses as a default.

  • Can't select 'all layers' from the healing brush drop down menu

    I just installed PS6 and while cleaning up a picture I found this very frustrating: I created a new layer on top of the one I'm editing and wanted to remove a couple of blemishes. but when I hit J and try to select the 'all layers' option from the drop down menu, it won't allow me… it's stuck on 'current layer' and I can't seem to change that… Does anyone else have the same problem? Will reinstalling the software fix it? I need to get this done by the end of the weekend… HELP!

    never mind… found it! checked the channels panel and apparently I had created a quick mask… deleted it, works fine

  • How can I get rid of "History and Bookmarks" section from the search history drop down menu in safari 6.0.2?

    Let's just say I have saved bookmarks of things that i do NOT want my friends to see when they use my computer occasionally. I know they could go and find these bookmarks anyway in the bookmarks menu but they dont snoop around my computer. i would rather it not just pop up when they go to search for something or type in a webpage. If there is no way to customize what shows up in the drop down menu for search results then that is something apple overlooked. Not everybody wants things all in one place. Whats the point of deleting search history and website history if its just going to show the certain things you have bookmarked? Any solution to this would be appreciated. One solution i thought would work was disabling search from suggesting, but i guess that only supresses the webpages not the url/search bar. Oh and this is for safari 6.0.2 please dont give me outdated advice.
    Thanks

  • Why is the "Custom" option grayed out in the Image Trace drop down menu?

    I'm going crazy here. On two different versions of Illustrator (CS6 on Windows 7 and CC on Windows 8.1) I'm trying to customize the options on an image trace from the drop down menu. On both versions I can't click Custon and when I tried to use the presets it just completes the action and doesn't allow for tweaks.
    I've used three different file formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) and tried embedding and copying and pasting with no luck. In past versions this was never a problem. What is going on here?

    Just select the Image trace panel from the window menu and then customize it.

  • Why is the browser hijacker Vosteran listed in the search engine drop down menu?

    New download of Firefox 33.1 has a known browser hijacker listed in the drop down menu. It took me several hours to remove it's damaging files and get any browser to work correctly again. This is insane!

    Hi mach37, can you delete the Vosteran search engine by highlighting it on the Search panel of the Options dialog and using the Remove button?
    ''If it comes back:'' I would suspect a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up:
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (on XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • Can't get the default spry drop down menu bar ??

    Every time I create a new drop down menu bar it comes up with one that has the same properties as the last one I created. And I can't fix that last one. I'd like to start over but DW won't let me. Help?

    If you are trying to insert a new menu bar with different properties than the last, for instance when you want to start over with a fresh styling approach, remember that the menubar css file will apply to all menus in the site, unless you distinguish the menus with an id on the containing element (div).
    Go ahead and delete the old css file from the SpryAssets folder, if you want to start over. When you insert the new menubar, a new css file will also be installed.
    You might find it useful to keep on hand (in a separate folder, out of the site folder) a 'clean' and new menubar css file, for use troubleshooting (by comparing the original with your edited version) or for copying into the site in this kind of situation. But if all  you want is a new original copy, just following my suggestion above will work.

  • Why can my daughter change my Apple ID password from her ipod...

    without even entering my old password first?  Is there some way to prevent her access to my Apple ID account.  I've made so I have to enter a password prior to purchases etc... but she can go into Settings>Store and have direct access to my Apple ID account (including changing the password without entering the old password).
    TIA

    I did not change my Apple ID identification, only the password.

  • HT201356 Why can't I change my "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" to an email address using an Apple domain?

    I am trying to use an Apple EMail address as my primary email address and I am unable to change it. I previously had another "nonapple" address identified as my Apple ID and Primary Email address. Now I apparantly can only change it to another "non Apple" related email address. It seems stupid to have to go to Google and use thier email address to make a change.
    What gives.

    Thanks Roger! I understand that it is an Apple ID already that makes sense. That "non Apple " address however, is compromised and I do not wish to use it anymore and will be shutting it down. I find it strange that I must only identify a "Non Apple" address as my "primary email address". I have an alias address on the account and I can sign in using it as my Apple ID. i don't see the Logic in forcing someone to use another email provider as your primary mail service. (I know I can set up alias's and use them under an Apple domain, but the primary email will still be there and I understand used for any account communications from Apple.) Any further comments on this situations?
